Chapter 34: Victory
You two - didn't you just say a lifetime? ”
"Breakthrough." Pei Ye raised his sword and stood up and clenched his fists, "Sect leader, I want to fight with Brother Xiao Qiu first." ”
"It's fine." The head of the sect said, "Then please ask Xiao Qiu to come up again." ”
It won't take long anyway.
Xiao Qiu did not have a dissatisfied look and returned to the stage.
Xiao Qiu has a higher estimate of this young man's strength, because although Zheng Dong's martial arts are looser, his cultivation is also a solid three lives, and he ranked eighteenth in the big competition on the first day of entering the martial arts hall.
However, according to what he said, he could not parry in front of this young man's fists and kicks, and he could neither react nor resist.
Thinking about it, this young man should also be a person with outstanding roots, enough to bridge the gap between one life and three lives.
Of course, the gap between the third and fourth lives is even greater, and the ordinary four lives are not the same thing as themselves.
The two stood against each other.
Pei Ye pressed his sword to his elbow and bowed with his fists.
Xiao Qiu stood up and returned the salute with the same standard posture.
After the ceremony, Pei Ye lightly pulled the sword flower and shot first.
The starting style is today's Fang Cheng's [Breaking Ground], his wrist was relaxed, and a light and agile sword light suddenly appeared on the field.
It was the expert who made the move, and the eyes of many people who were learning swords in the audience lit up.
Xiao Qiu set off a fierce wind, his sword was still hard, heavy, and fast, not to catch up, but to whip the sword light towards Pei Li.
The two swords intersected, and in the moment before the arrival of this whistling sword, Pei Li's wrist turned slightly, and he cut into this impact at a precise and subtle angle - he deflected the blade of the sword, and "grazed" the opponent's sword body with the sword surface in an almost parallel posture.
But even so, like a huge wave grazing a small boat, Pei Li's light sword was still like a floating leaf facing a strong wind in this contact, and the smooth trajectory was destroyed in an instant.
Huge power rushed along the sword towards his wrist, and in the moment before, Pei Ye had already opened his hand easily.
The hilt of the sword fluttered violently on the palm of his hand, Pei Li's fingers pressed up, and pressed it in the direction of its rotation, and the momentum of the whole sword was in the direction he wanted.
The next moment, with a flip of his wrist, a strong hand gripped the hilt of the sword tightly again.
The powerful thrust didn't break the fluttering sword, nor did it repel it. Between Pei Li's wrist flips, this draw even gave the sword a boost to move forward.
He suddenly twisted his arm and stabbed forward, like a dragon probing a cave.
Pei Ye's right arm at this time was an extension of the sword, and the arm was connected to the sword as a whole, bending into a snake.
And Xiao Qiu's sword is a tangled tree.
【Tree Aid】
A sword move that avoids reality and is entangled in the sky.
Xiao Qiu only felt that his sword had a momentary impact, but it was not true, and the next moment it was empty.
And in the scene captured by his eyes, the opponent's sword touched and swung away from his own sword, and then the next moment, the opponent's long arm twisted, and the snaking sword tip was suddenly in front of him.
The process in the middle is like being cut off.
It's like an emerald green bamboo branch, and the moment it is whipped up, it immediately becomes a bamboo leaf green that springs up.
And throughout the whole process, the boy's eyes kept on the sword he had struck away, and these delicate movements of the opponent were at his fingertips.
The blade of the sword approached lightly, the arm was an extension of the sword, and the body was an extension of the arm, and the posture of the young man twisting his arm and stabbing had a smooth beauty, and the whole body was smoothed out by the strength of this stab.
This kind of wonderful control, the power of the end of the strength
Xiao Qiu's entire state of mind was lifted by this delicate chemical force forward stab.
He worked tirelessly at this threshold.
The eldest brother praised him and said that he should be able to step into the clumsy situation of twenty-five years old in two or three years, which is enough to see that Shang Huaitong's shoulders.
Now he suspected that there was another Shang Huaitong in front of him.
Xiao Qiu immediately grabbed his arm to slash the sword that was pressing his throat, but in the gap between the sword moves, the other party twisted the stab and turned into a sword, and once again lightly avoided it, and at the same time the blade cut at his chest.
Xiao Qiu felt extremely uncomfortable, he believed that his strength and speed were superior to the opponent's, but once he came to the game of sword moves, he felt constrained at every turn.
The opponent can always crack his sword move in the most subtle way, and at the same time respond with a small counterattack.
At this time, another sword cut at his chest, and he couldn't return the sword in his hand, so he chose to take a step back.
But his decision to make the next move has changed - no longer breaking up with this young man, but exchanging attack for attack.
Since his own strength and speed are superior to those of the other party, why should he give him another chance to make up for his swordsmanship attainments.
Even so, it's a little unpretty, to win with realm force. In the moment of his thoughts, the next sword in Xiao Qiu's hand had become very tough.
Straight into the opponent's torso!
Let the other party surround Wei to save Zhao, he will never stop this sword!
Either block or retreat, either way, the battle will come into its own rhythm.
Pei Ye really saw his determination from the momentum of this sword, and did not try to counterattack and retreat, but changed his clever sword path, strode with both hands in his hand, and stiffly set up this move.
Xiao Qiu knew that this was a helpless response, the two swords intersected, and there might be a chance to fight back with the sword in the next move, and if he retreated, he could only avoid again and again until he was defeated.
It's finally a real collision!
Immediately, the opponent's block deflected under his sword, and the feeling of breaking the opponent's resistance surged back to his body from the sword, and he even seemed to hear a crisp cracking sound.
This is the rhythm you are familiar with!
Breaking through ingenuity with strength is what I have persevered in practicing martial arts for more than ten years.
Xiao Qiu would never give the other party any respite, and immediately slashed at the young man who was crooked in the sword again, unable to organize the next defense in time.
But when the sword slashed down, the opponent's body, which was originally deviated to the left, suddenly floated, and in one step, it seemed to be left and right. Xiao Qiu felt as if he had hit a phantom with the sword he had chopped, and when he looked at it again, the other party and the sword had already tilted to the right to the extreme, and they were cutting at him in a sharp arc.
Zhanzhi is on the left, and suddenly on the right.
【Shelling】
This sword naturally surprised Xiao Qiu's heart, but at the same time, his precise eyesight also caught the weak point of the opponent's blow - such a floating and dangerous posture was certainly unexpected, but it was also extremely fragile.
If you can't resist your own slash with all your strength, how can this posture be maintained in front of your own sword.
Of course, in the face of such a sudden and dangerous stabbing attack, he did not have time to gather all his strength, but an ordinary force was enough.
His eyesight was precise enough to see that the path the sword had traversed was a little longer. In order to increase the surprise of this change in the virtual and real changes just now, the other party pushed his body to the right - a little too right.
Therefore, I just had time to catch up with this sword.
Xiao Qiu bent his elbow and pulled his long sword back, and when the opponent's sword was about to press, his sword was indeed met from the front.
This exchange of blows will completely destroy the opponent's crumbling posture on the edge of the cliff.
But the moment his sword had swooped down resolutely, ready to meet the crisp cracking sound again, everything suddenly changed.
Mutation.
The left-to-right change is more abrupt, steeper, and more radical than the left-to-right change just now!
Although the change just now was unexpected, after the change was completed, Xiao Qiu quickly knew that it was the upper and lower swords of the same type of sword - this style of sword was disguised as a posture on the outside, but the power on the inside was in a completely different direction.
This kind of thinking is said in the martial arts book, this kind of move wants to be used well, three points look at the design of the move itself, and seven points look at the quality of the person who uses it - from the control of the body, to the grasp of timing, and even to the acting skills.
The boy undoubtedly used this trick very beautifully.
But the mutation I am facing now is not the case, this is by no means a design within the same move, it is a completely unthinkable change!
From dangerous to stable, from floating to hard, from tricky like a snake to oppressive like a tiger, the young man in front of him took a step towards the front, and the momentum of the whole person suddenly rose, from the prey of the last battle to a condescending predator.
How can you see the trend in the current move from that trick just now?
【Flying Bronze Shadow】
This is the first cooperation between the finch and the cicada, and it is actually the change of tricks that is highlighted in "The Cicada Sparrow Sword".
[Shelling] is an extremely steep variant of the sword, which is enough to frighten the enemy, and then connected with a fast sword like [Flying Bronze Shadow], one is to catch up quickly, and the other party can't react; The second is the surprise after the unexpected, and the enemy is even more unprepared.
This is a group of cicadas and sparrows that can be called killer moves.
At this time, in front of Xiao Qiu, this sword stabbed head-on.
It is not heavy enough, because the prey will not outweigh itself anyway; It's fast enough that only then does the prey not have time to run away.
Xiao Qiu's sword had already pressed towards the sword just now, and when the sword suddenly tore through the disguise and rushed out, he was too late to respond.
When the praying mantis hooked the cicada, the yellow finch struck, and this was the right time to do so.
Xiao Qiu had to forcibly change his move again to slash this suddenly ferocious sword, and finally felt a little awkward in his strength.
But at this point, Xiao Qiu still did not think that he was going to fail.
Because this predation has a fatal flaw - the prey is actually much stronger than the predator.
Even though his sword was originally powerful because of its simplicity, it was repeatedly changed by the rapid and steep changes of these two styles, and the environment for exerting power had been damaged, but a one-arm heavy slash could always be used.
Even if it is too late to borrow the strength of the whole body, with the strength of the shoulder and arm, this is still a blow that Pei Mo can resist.
The sound of the two swords clashing down was so loud!
Xiao Qiu's arm suddenly shook, and even the sword and arm were completely swinged.
What a strong force!
He looked at the boy in astonishment, and the boy pursed his lips and stabbed him, the sword in his hand trembling as well. The muscles of his sword-holding arm were condensed, the green tendons in his hands were bulging, and he was stubbornly controlling the somewhat crooked sword body - this time the battle of strength, he obviously did not win easily.
But after all, it was a victory.
The young man came with a solemn face, and from the focused, confident and proud eyes, Xiao Qiu read a question.
- Really, is there a power far superior to me?
This question made him stunned, speechless, difficult to answer, and incredible.
Until the opponent's sword blade stopped an inch at his throat, he was still stuck in it.
I. How could it not be?
He is four lives, there are sixteen meridians growing in the dantian, and he has crossed the small threshold between three and four, and the gap between him and the landlubber is difficult to fill with roots and bones.
Even if you have just broken through to the second life, from two meridians to four meridians, in all fairness, zero, two, four, these three numbers will really be fundamentally different in the face of "sixteen"?
What's more, he is already known for his roots, and he can wrestle with the warriors of the second life when he is not broken.
He already looked down on the young man because of Zheng Dong's defeat, and when he broke the boy for the first time, he secretly admired his good human roots, which seemed to be hidden above himself.
But now it seems that the boy deliberately stayed at that time.
It has not exploded in full until now.
In the face of this sword, if he can also have the opportunity to fight with all his strength, he will naturally still be able to win steadily, but to be honest, this kind of victory cannot cause qualitative change.
It's just the extent of "beating him two ways".
A simple calculation revealed a dazzling fact: his strength was the true qi of the sixteen meridians plus the bones of his body, and the strength of the young man was weaker than his own limited, which could be estimated to be about fifteen or sixteen meridians.
But he only had four meridians.
In other words, with this root bone alone, the gap between the eleven and twelve meridians has been filled!
Xiao Qiu was stunned, but not abrupt, because the audience was very quiet.
Pei Ye put his sword close to his arm, took two steps back, and bowed with his fists.
Xiao Qiu was stunned for a moment before raising his hand and saluting back.
After a few breaths, the voice of the sect leader sounded sluggishly in the martial arts field: "Pei Li. Victory over Xiao Qiu! ”
It was quiet for a while.
Then there were a few sporadic applause in the back audience, which soon spread like a tide to the audience, and extremely warm applause rose from under more than 20 silent faces.
What a clever sword! What a pleasing sword!
"Pei Ye is temporarily ranked first in Xiaobi, and who wants to come up and challenge?" The head continued.
There was silence for a long time, and a tall figure stood up among the onlookers.
Chang Yue raised his knife and said, "I want to fight with Little Brother Pei." ”
"Okay."
Chang Yue came to power with a sword, and he lasted thirty-four rounds under Pei Lijian.
His strength was already weaker than Xiao Qiu and Zhang Junxue, although it was also stronger than Pei Li, but it was even more unable to form enough suppression; Although he is also excellent in martial arts and actual combat, he is also not excellent.
He is a very balanced player, and because of this, when facing Pei Li's "extreme strength" - sword skills, he has no means of checks and balances, and can only be overwhelmed little by little in the accumulation of disadvantages.
The two compared, and Chang Yue walked off the field convincingly, with a stunned face - from second to fourth, and this is only the Longmen class.
This is a heavy setback in confidence, he was originally full of ambition, but there are so many talents, and the top four in Jin Qiu Wu are very slim for him.
The result of this battle seemed to be more convincing than the victory over Xiao Qiu, and no one came to the stage to challenge him after that.
But just as the head of the sect was about to announce that he was the first of the year, Pei Ye suddenly spoke.
"I want to fight Zhang Junxue." He said.
